Solar storage

PV Guided Tours: Intelligent systems are replacing standalone components and AI now manages storage systems, wall boxes and energy flows to make the most of solar power. It’s not science fiction, it’s already here. Still sceptical? Prepare to be surprised!

PV Guided Tours: Industry and commercial enterprises can reduce electricity costs in various ways using storage systems – but security is key. Luis Haya, Solution Manager Chint Power Systems, explains which features are needed to ensure security is safeguarded.

PV Guided Tours: Lumenhaus aims to revolutionise the industry with a local direct sales model and its innovative SunSaver storage system. This all-in-one system integrates solar modules, charging stations, heat pumps and AI-based energy management via its own app. Assisted by customer-centred intelligence, the household storage aims make everyday life as convenient as possible.

PV Guided Tours: The new Tesvolt Forton battery system enables commercial enterprises to participate profitably in energy trading for the first time. Thanks to high-temperature cells with LFP technology, classic applications such as peak load capping and solar self-consumption are now more cost-effective. A 15-year performance guarantee with two full cycles per day ensures a secure investment.

CEO Talk: Discover the new AI-powered plug-in home energy systems, featuring intelligent energy forecasts, consumption planning and optimisation. Save on costs with real-time tariff data and seamless, secure control of storage systems.

SolarPower Europe has officially launched the Battery Storage Europe Platform, a major new initiative to drive forward the business case and regulatory framework for battery storage across the European Union.

CEO Talk: Demand for large storage systems is surging across Europe, but delivering them involves major challenges – from permitting and financing to construction and operation. Michael Hierholzer of Rolls-Royce explains why experienced and reliable partners are key.

The collaboration will focus on rethinking battery life cycles, with new pilot projects and policy dialogues aimed at scaling up reuse, remanufacturing and recycling across the supply chain.

PV Guided Tours: Huawei FusionSolar is unveiling its new Luna2000 utility-scale battery storage system with a capacity of five MWh. The current 4.5 MWh systems have already received the Prime safety certificate from TÜV Rheinland.

Technological progress and rising demand are accelerating the development of solid-state batteries. The sector is expected to gain significant market traction by 2025, according to a new report from IDTechEx.

The storage system in the Atacama Desert complements an existing 220 MW PV plant and includes black-start capability.

PV Guided Tours: SAX Power offers an AC storage system that operates without a battery inverter. It is also a multi-talent – suitable for both new solar systems and retrofits. Is this storage system really as simple as the provider promises? Watch the video to find out.

PV Guided Tours: The new integrated system Power Store, combining a C&I battery storage unit with a safety container, offers comprehensive protection in the event of thermal runaway. When designing storage systems for commercial applications, both customised system design and rapid amortisation are essential considerations. Watch the video to learn more!

PV Guided Tours: Fenecon presents the Industrial XL with 1.5 megawatts and four megawatt hours in a new container format for large-scale projects, alongside a new flexible power pack for SMEs and the updated Commercial 92 in an innovative split tower design.

PV Guided Tours: The system supplies three-phase backup power and utilises an intelligent EMS. The focus is clearly on safety and efficiency – including for the new, hybrid-cooled Luna2000-215kWh battery storage system for C&I. It has been awarded the highest safety certificate by TÜV Rheinland.

CEO Talk: Power storage for C&I applications is booming. Sofar is expanding its portfolio with the launch of the new PowerIn system this year, and is ramping up sales across Europe. What's the strategy behind this push? Let‘s find out.

CEO Talk: In a world driven by electric energy, Ampace is one of the forerunners of technology. From cutting-edge batteries to intelligent energy solutions, the company is fuelling the future for all kinds of applications – one charge at a time.

PV Guided Tours: The new Sigenergy app uses AI to optimise energy management, with new features that support the integration of DC optimisers, bidirectional charging and energy tradin  – good news for cost-conscious users. The second-generation hybrid inverter, with battery packs and easy retrofit options, is now available.

CEO Talk: The market for home storage is sluggish, while C&I and large-scale storage are gradually gaining ground. To boost sales, the right strategy is essential. The key question remains: What factors determine success in this market? Franz-Josef Feilmeier, CEO of Fenecon explains.

PV Guided Tours: Atmoce presents two new innovative products – a micro inverter and a low-voltage battery. The M-ELV battery operates at less than 30 volts, increasing safety for installers and simplifying day-to-day work. Intelligent energy management system connects both components. The low-voltage technology is designed to benefit private households as well as commercial users.

Members of the European Parliament are calling on the European Commission to propose an EU strategy on energy flexibility – an initiative backed by SolarPower Europe.

This week’s product highlights include Sungrow’s new PowerTitan 3.0 storage system, a dual-axis tracker from Anywhere Solar, Over Easy Solar’s vertical mounting solution and the new Reserva battery from Fronius.

With a nominal output of 40 MW and a storage capacity of 80 MWh, the facility marks the latest in a series of energy storage investments by MET Group across Europe.

The new DC storage from Austrian manufacturer Fronius fills an important gap in its product portfolio, making it a complete system provider. The Reserva is a high-voltage battery that provides almost loss-free charging and discharging power.

Large-scale storage systems are gaining ground across Europe, driven by growing demand for grid stabilisation and peak load shifting. Italy, Great Britain and Germany are leading the charge. Download the new e-paper for free.
